The Milwaukee Brewers signed Kolten Wong ahead of the 2021 season to help improve defense and offensive production from the second base position. Former top-prospect Keston Hiura had a hot bat during his rookie campaign, which made his defensive struggles somewhat tolerable. However, after a disastrous 2020 season, the Brewers signed Wong and started to experiment with Hiura at first base. The move paid off as Wong was a Gold Glove finalist at second base and hit well above his career average with a slash line of .272/.335/.447 with 14 home runs and 50 RBI. This season, however, has been…

Whether or not Milwaukee Brewers fans want to admit it, Josh Hader is going to be traded. It may not be during the season. It could happen this offseason after the Playoffs. Next year is the last of Hader’s arbitration years, meaning he will be a free agent following the 2023 season. Given the Brewers’ small market, there is little-to-no chance that they will be able to afford their four-time All-Star closer. This means that if Milwaukee is to salvage anything from losing Hader, they are going to have to trade him. As Bob Nightengale reported, this could happen this season.…

The Milwaukee Bucks were without Khris Middleton for most their Playoff run in 2022. The three-time All-Star suffered a sprained MCL against the Chicago Bulls in the opening round. Today, it was reported that Middleton underwent surgery to repair a torn ligament in his left wrist. He is expected to be ready bear the start of the 2022-23 season. As of right now, there is no word on how Middleton sustained the injury. It should be noted that the injury is on his non-shooting arm. The Milwaukee Bucks Need Khris Middleton As was evident in the Bucks’ semi-finals loss to…

The Green Bay Packers are entering 2022 with high expectations. Both their defense and offense have received top ten rankings by various publications. If everything plays out according to plan, the Packers will finally hoist the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. However, for this to happen, five Packers players need to prove that their performances in 2021 will improve this season. Questions still need to be answered from special teams to offense and defense. Related: Packers 53-man roster prediction 1.

The Milwaukee Brewers have one of the worst OPS stats among centerfielders (rank 28th in MLB). Lorenzo Cain was designated for assignment, Tyrone Taylor is on IL, and Jonathan Davis is as light-hitting an outfielder as one can imagine. Down in Nashville, the Brewers HAD centerfielder David Dahl, who was slashing .294/.357/.468 with nine home runs and 41 RBI. Emphasis, of course, on the word “had.” The Brewers just released Dahl in a flurry of minor league roster moves. David Dahl is a five-year MLB veteran with career averages of .272/.319/.463. He was a National League All-Star in 2019 while…

The Milwaukee Bucks have done everything they could to bring back all their core players from last season. The only one who has not be re-signed yet is Jordan Nwora, and he is a restricted free agent. They have signed Joe Ingles as a free agent and drafted MarJon Beauchamp. The key to the offseason, though, was locking up Bobby Portis long-term. The fan-favorite opted out of his contract the day before NBA free agency, but signed a four-year deal the very next day. On Sunday, Portis talked with Bally Sports Wisconsin about his new deal and what the city…

The Milwaukee Brewers are currently 2.5 games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Central Division. With the All-Star Game approaching, there is an increased emphasis on who will be buying and selling at the trade deadline. The Brewers are in an interesting position. On the one hand, they are in first place and surely can make the playoffs again. On the other hand, their offense ranks near the bottom in all of baseball. Additionally, Josh Hader is in his second-to-last year of arbitration. Given how stingy Brewers owner Mark Attanasio is, there is little reason to…

Amari Rodgers was the third-round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers in 2021. To say that his rookie campaign was underwhelming would be an understatement. Rodgers had just four receptions for 45 yards and no touchdowns. He also had 20 returns for 166 yards before losing the role due to his many mistakes on the field. Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling left Green Bay, but the Packers also added Sammy Watkins and three rookie wide receivers. With Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb each returning, the Packers may need to trade Rodgers if he does not show improvement during Packers…

The Milwaukee Brewers streak of sending five players to the annual MLB All-Star Game has come to an end. Since 2018, the Brewers had sent five players to the Mid-Summer Classic (excluding 2020 when there was no All-Star Game). This year, Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader will represent Milwaukee at the All-Star Game at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. Corbin Burnes Is Dominating Again The reigning National League Cy Young Award winner is having an even better year in 2022 than he did last season. 2021 (28 starts): 11-5, 2.43 ERA, 234 strikeouts, 0.94 WHIP 2022 (17 starts): 7-4, 2.20…

Major League Baseball’s trade deadline is approaching quickly and the Milwaukee Brewers are in desperate need of a bat (or two). While the pitching has been relatively strong for most of the season, the offense has been wildly inconsistent. The Brewers rank near the bottom in all of baseball in team batting average and team on base percentage. Additionally, Milwaukee struggles to hit with runners in scoring position. As a result, the Brewers are undoubtedly checking in on the trading block. One bat that is drawing interest from a lot of teams is that of Kansas City Royals outfielder Andrew…
